Is it just me or is python community's dependency management a bit unreliable?

I just can't seem to easily install any python programs without missing dependencies. Updates have caused libraries to become incompatible, which in turn causes the application that used to work to just produce a stack trace.

Is this the state of python or am I doing something wrong.

python pip dependencies broken

    Pip is kind of a pain. There are ways to keep things more concrete (pyenv, requirements.txt) but nothing forces people to use things like that, so things can get pretty messy pretty fast.

    Actually it seems to me pip trying to catch dependencies that flying around. That's why it looks a unstable imo.

    That is probably the case @orhun, might be more of a community/library creator issue than pip issue.
